As a 16-year-old, she won the hearts of viewers around the world; all because of his appearance in the cult series. Although “Anne of Green Gables” has been adapted into many films, it seems that the production starring Megan Follows has been considered a cult classic for years. Even though 38 years have passed since the first episode was broadcast, some people still see the 55-year-old actress as a rebellious dreamer, Anne Shirley.
Viewers remembered the actress for years as Anne Shirley
Films and series that break popularity records and gain cult status over the years can, paradoxically, be a trap for many actors. Taking on a high-profile role may involve receiving a certain label in the eyes of viewers; with a lasting connection between the image of a given artist and the character he played. Megan Follows seems to have experienced this. Even though she appeared in the series “Anne of Green Gables” as a 16-year-old, and later had many other productions under her belt, some still associate her only with the role of teenage Shirley. And even an appearance in the famous series “Teen Mary Stuart” could not change that, even though Follows played Queen Catherine de Medici in it.
Her quick entry into the world of show business did not affect her life
Even though Megan Follows she started her acting career very early, even before reaching adulthood, it does not seem to have had a significant impact on her life. The star managed to avoid major scandals, and she also guarded her privacy well enough to avoid appearing in the headlines of the colorful press. It can be said that despite her enormous fame, she led a quiet life.
Not much has changed since then; The 55-year-old actress still enjoys the sympathy of viewers, despite the lack of her famous red hair, which she replaced with honey blonde. He receives a lot of positive comments on his Instagram profile; many of them refer – of course – to “Anne of Green Gables”. However, this does not seem to bother the artist. She likes to share sentimental photos – at one point, even Amybeth McNulty appeared on her account. She is an actress who played the main role of the Netflix series “Anne, not Anna”, which refreshed and reminded the audience of the cult novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery.
